http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/mediaplayer/asx-overview.htmlasx files are basically playlists - they let the browser know where to send to to play the content.
They work with Firefox in windows, I am not sure about dsl - you might have to set up where things get played (in windows it uses wmp.)

This station is a Windows Media Audio 9 broadcast.Get the mplayer.dsl extension from the MyDSL repository in order to play this format.
After you install, open an xterminal window and type:
mplayer < http://www.eradioportal.com/dzbb.asx > and wait for caching to reach 20% and it will start playing.
Or you can search the internet for an XMMS plugin that plays wma 9 audio.
